How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before tightening or moving components.

  • Tighten hardware: Inspect and tighten screws on side panels, top cover, and internal brackets.
  • Secure tubing: Look for refrigerant or water lines touching each other or the cabinet. Add foam sleeves or clips to prevent rattling.
  • Inspect fans and pumps: Spin the condenser fan and listen for grinding. Check pumps for debris. Replace noisy motors or clean impellers.
  • Test operation: Restore power and listen through a full cycle to confirm noise reduction.
